Are public charter schools eligible to receive subgrants under Title III?
A public charter school that 1) is an LEA by State law, 2) meets the definition of LEA in section 9101(6) of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), and 3) meets the requirements of subpart 1 of Part A of Title III of NCLB could receive a subgrant. For subgrants awarded under section 3114(a), that would include eligibility under the formula for a subgrant of at least $10,000; and for subgrants under 3114(d), a subgrant of sufficient size and scope to support an effective program. A public charter school that is not an LEA would not be eligible to receive a subgrant, but the charter school may be included in its LEA???s application on the same basis as other public schools in the district.
